    Why Would Noah's Flood Have Been the Best Way for God to Cleanse the Earth?

    So, I guess you didn't understand the thread title: Why Would Noah's Flood Have Been the Best Way for God to Cleanse the Earth or the similarly worded question in my OP: Why would the flood have been the best and the most efficient way for God to have cleansed the earth of the saturated evil...

    Why Would Noah's Flood Have Been the Best Way for God to Cleanse the Earth?

    I'm actually writing this a second time, because I accidentally deleted it. So please take time to read it. :) Yes, we know that God's way is always best, but that's different to knowing why he chooses a particular action. God does read hearts. Note. Does read. Just in case you doubt that...

    Do you think I should?

    God only is known through Quran and Ahlulbayt (a) and other hypothetical Creators can't be canditates. Like Elyas (a) said to Bani-Israel, not to believed in is others as God is the best of the Creators (hypothetical ones) and they have no comparison, and if they did, still, they are without proofs.

    Do you think I should?

    god is greater than islam, , or ahlulbayt. allahu akbar when you find god, you leave all that outward appearance to those who think they can quote scripture and appear righteous proverbs 21:2 "Don't act like the hypocrite, who thinks he can conceal his wiles while loudly quoting the...

    Answering Atheists

    So is it just the human heart that wasn't created by God, or was it human beings as a whole? What else in the universe do you think God didn't create?

    Answering Atheists

    I'm wondering the same thing, since you evidently don't get any of them. You don't point out any problem with them, at least I don't see that you do. I guess we'll just continue until someone get something. That's not the point. Could you review my response in relation to your comment. I don't...

    Righteousness

    Why would a morality imposed by a deity be objective? it seems like it would be arbitrary based on what that deity wants. Why should we care? Instead, there are those that think that true morality is based on how people interact with other people to promote human well-being.

    Righteousness

    Is it fair to say that the world divides neatly into those who believe there is an absolute 'right', and those who don't? There are a number of scriptures that talk about what is 'right in his [man's] own eyes' [Deuteronomy 12:8; Proverbs 12:15; Proverbs 21:2, for example] as opposed to...

    Thoughts on this?

    Yes, of course I've heard it before. It's from the Bible. Proverbs 21:2-3 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. What that means is that we allow ourselves to be deceived by our...

    Meritoctracy in Heaven

    Pretty much. You get what you pay for. You reap what you sow. Whatever you do (or don't do) here on Earth (and isn't dealt with on Earth) will be dealt with after you die. If you've done all the good and you were richly rewarded on Earth, you will get nothing in heaven. If you've been super...

    Meritoctracy in Heaven

    so was jesus implying that the state of government in heaven is a meritocracy? matthew 25:14-30 isn't that how one gets into the egyptian and christian heaven? based on the judgement before the throne? proverbs 21:2

    What is "belief?"

    About this aspect, we learn that God can see what is in peoples' hearts, whether directly or by all their deeds over time we don't have to know -- 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” 7To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he...

    Which 'g-d', is being referred to, in John 1:18?

    Perhaps the way you were saying it? Yes and no. Yes, again, that which is born of the Spirit (God - capitalized) is spirit (you). You are a spirit because you were birthed from a spirit. That which is born of flesh is flesh. You are not your mother and father's body but you are from them...

    Which 'g-d', is being referred to, in John 1:18?

    I wasn't saying that there is no soul. What gave you that impression? Jesus says one must be born again. What does that mean? One must be born from water and spirit. How do you understand that? Jesus didn't say, what is born from water is water. Why not? So how do the scriptures show what he...

    Is the moral standard of humanists better than God's?

    This is what I was wanting to debate because, according to my opening post, only a morally atrocious God would deem such people as wicked and worthy of condemnation. As long as you have a humanistic moral standard that treats others with kindness and dignity, then that is morally righteous...

    Is the moral standard of humanists better than God's?

    Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts. Proverbs 21:2 Everyone thinks they are kind respectful nice human beings, but God knows our self-serving motives and sees secret sins. I am not sure where you came up with what you said above, but according to the...

    Faith alone doesnt cut it.

    What are the works the faithful can do in a cell to please God? Or does He sit knowing His faith is all thats needed. He doesnt have to worship Christ, just have faith in Him

    Faith alone doesnt cut it.

    proverbs 21:2 2 All of a man’s ways seem right to him,+ But Jehovah examines the hearts. Jeremiah 17:10 I, Jehovah, am searching the heart,+ Examining the innermost thoughts,* To give to each one according to his ways, According to the fruitage of his works It wouldnt matter if you were...

    Genesis contradictions?

    Well, I must say that a person's choice of religion (or lack of it) has a great deal to do with their life experiences it seems. Some are totally put off by the hypocritical religion they were raised with, whilst others are content to just go along with their family tradition without much...
